Recent clinical studies indicate that stimulation of the retina with tiny amounts of current can have a therapeutic effect on retinal diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa. We have therefore developed a preventive treatment system which stimulates the eye with a thread electrode; among other objectives, the aim is that even blind patients can administer the therapy themselves under physician's supervision.
The interdisciplinary project IMIKRID targets the "proof of concept" of a novel technological platform for the development of customised complete diagnostic systems of ultra high sensitivity for in-vitro diagnostics. For this purpose, an integrated microfluidic diagnostic platform is developed and its application concerning diagnostic problems in the area of oncology and cardiovascular diseases as well as in environmental applications will be demonstrated
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
